Dont get me wrong, this is an early access game, I totally get that.
However after what I heard today and what I experienced I am comfortable with saying the game is broken until an update prevents players from destroying other player ships in pve servers. My ships have been sunk now and I saw it happen, players name was "Edward Kenway" sunk a ton of ships on E5's south island.
I spoke to the player calmly because it is just a game.. and clearly he was not very bright and just enjoyed doing what he could do. Sinking ships with his inventory weight, he sunk several while I was there. He said I need a brain then said there was water in the one I had? "That's an interesting statement But im not sure why you would state that, we all have water in our brains" I told him. Then I said "the brain is made up of about 75% water" He then just said hes leaving have fun with your game. Nice guy.
My neighbor on the island had at least 15 to 20 ships, all sunk and salvaged. I dont think im alone with saying, if you cant put ships in the water without the possibility of another player sinking it in PVE, then PVE is broken until thats fixed.
I see the solution in the mean time, build your ships but do not launch them, keep them in the yard. I and many others will not launch another ship until its fixed which is really sad because how much of the game actually involves the players ship? The next update should be changed to fix this, I think a lot of players would agree.
I really enjoy the game even with its bugs but this is game breaking for a lot of people including myself.
